Jordan | Dust waves and strong winds with significant temperature fluctuations beginning Wednesday

WASM- Khamsin atmospheric conditions will intensify over the Kingdom and become "strong" starting from Wednesday, with strong dust-stirring winds and dust waves in most regions of the Kingdom, with wind gusts reaching 80 km/hour causing dense dust clouds in desert areas and zero horizontal visibility.

In detail, Khamsin atmospheric conditions will gradually return from the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, with temperatures rising and light winds at the forefront of the Khamsin low-pressure system's impact, and the atmosphere will be suitable for outdoor gatherings on Tuesday/Wednesday night provided you wear a light jacket and adhere to medical procedures for respiratory and allergy patients.

Khamsin atmospheric conditions will intensify noticeably and significantly on Wednesday with strong winds and dusty weather coinciding with sandstorms in desert areas, and temperatures will rise during the day to 28-29 degrees Celsius in the capital then drop at night to 12 degrees Celsius, resulting in a significant temperature fluctuation that warrants attention and continued wearing of light winter clothing to avoid colds.

Khamsin dusty and variable atmospheric conditions will continue on Thursday and Friday daytime with temperature fluctuations continuing, with the capital recording between 27-26 degrees Celsius during daytime and 8 degrees during Friday/Saturday night.

Light and limited rain showers are expected, mixed with dust starting from Wednesday coinciding with the appearance of medium and high clouds, with rain shower chances being higher on Thursday and Friday.

The country is expected to be affected by cold and humid winds at the end of the current week, with weather conditions requiring winter clothing and caution from weather fluctuations, as the Kingdom is still within the transitional period, and WASM Regional Center expects rain chances to increase significantly and noticeably mid-current month coinciding with cooler weather and clear temperature drop.
